Talk:Figma (toy)

Suggestion: Change the picture of the figma shown on the article
Alright, so you know that picture of the Link figma? Well my idea was to switch it with a picture of the 200th figma, shown here (Preferably this picture ).

My reasons for why we should switch the two instead of adding another:

 * This is a picture of the 200th figma to be released, which is mentioned in the article itself. The Link figma, however, isn't.
 * It is also figma, so it is still relevant to the entirety of the article itself.
 * It, like the current picture, is a non-free, fair-use picture, and I want to keep the number of those kinds of pictures on this page to a minimum, just to play it safe.
 * The people that made the picture of the Link figma also made the one I recommended to swap it with, so image quality wouldn't be sacrificed.
 * IT'S HATSUNE MIKU!!

I have #200 on preorder. I can't wait for it to arrive. This doesn't relate to the article. I just thought of putting it out there.

I'll make a "Support/Oppose" list down below, so that it'd look a bit like a petition. Just place your name at the end of whichever side you take's list and type # below your name to make it easier on the next person. And don't be shy! I want to know what you think of my idea! Thanks!

Support/Oppose list mentioned in the previous section
This is the Y/N list I mentioned above. Just put next to the bottommost # and put another one below your name. If the bottommost # is taken, simply place another at the end of the list. And please don't edit any of the other names in the list. Thanks!

Support

 * 1)  N   Studios   2

Oppose

 * 1) Replace this line of text with  . Keep the # at the beginning of the line.

Regarding the previous nomination for deletion due to notability
I realize that I'm ten years late for this, so this is more for just in case someone tries to pull the same thing again in the future, given how it already happened once.

The line is very prolific in Japan, and already was as of 2010 (when the article was previously nominated for deletion) due to its pedigree of having being created by MAX Watanabe and Masaki Asai. It had already enjoyed widespread media coverage even before the series launch.

With this context, the deletion nomination- which began with "Unnotable line of "action figures". No significant coverage found in any books, nor in any news sources. Only news coverage found is minor mentions in ANN reports", and was followed up with a few people claiming that they could not find any sources - comes of as kind of racist: These people clearly did not bother looking for Japanese sources, and seemingly concluded that if something is not covered by western media, then it is not significant. Given how the person who nominated the article for deletion in the first place can be seen insisting that none of the hundreds of sources subsequently linked count, it really looks to me like the nomination was made in bad faith.

Of course the line now has significant coverage in English as well so I may very well be worrying over nothing, but I just wanted to put this out here. In any case I did add a line about media coverage to the article, and given how Dengeki Hobby alone has hundreds of articles on the line I think that should be more than enough to establish notability. 109.236.4.20 (talk) 19:28, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
